Reference implementations for open source ALM tools used by the
Eclipse community and for open ALM
standards such as OSLC

The project is structured into sub-projects, each representing an ALM category and providing common APIs for
specific ALM tools. The primary consumers of this project are ALM ISVs and other adopters of Eclipse ALM
frameworks.

After RC1 is released, builds will be produced weekly until the 3.6 release. In the RC phase only bugs marked
P2 or
higher or severity major or higher will be fixed. APIs will not change except to address critical fixes
based
on
integrator feedback, until RC3, at which point APIs will be frozen.

Source Compatibility:
Mylyn 3.6 will not by be source compatible with previous versions.

Workspace Compatibility:
We intend to keep Mylyn 3.6 upwards workspace-compatible with all versions higher than Mylyn 2.0 unless noted.
This means that workspaces created with Mylyn 2.0 can be successfully opened by Mylyn 3.6 and upgraded to a 3.6
workspace.

In addition to using the planned themes listed below, we continue prioritizing the ongoing input of our
growing user community.

Builds

Integration of continuous integration and build systems and seamless access to software build and assembly
technologies. Mylyn users will be able to access continuous integration processes, control build execution
and associate build results with tasks and context.

Context

Usage monitoring, degree-of-interested modeling and the task-focused user extensions implementation for the
Eclipse UI, which re-aligns the user experience around tasks and provides features such as workspace
focusing and one-click multitasking.

Versions

Eclipse integration for source code and configuration management tools(SCM, SCCM) and bi-directional
linking to change management tools. Mylyn Versions and the API it provides builds on the existing Eclipse
Team APIs.
